No, I am saying a person who doesn’t comply with a police officer’s directive, plays a part in whatever injury occurs after the fact. That’s what COURT is for. How were the cops supposed to know if he didn’t have a weapon? Take his word for it, hmm?
The man was alive. The police cuffed him and decked him. Now he is dead. And you are licking the boots that will eventually kick you in the head.
He might have some sort of weapon or a cellphone that we can designate as a weapon somewhere on his body so we had better kill him.
What an ignorant post - as are many on this thread.
It was a couple of cops with ‘control issues’, an all to psychological deficiency with today’s police. Just when did their training transition from ‘to serve and protect’ to ‘you better do exactly as I say to the letter’?
Cops have almost 99% discretion on how they handle their encounters. Why not just tell the man their going to write him a ticket and be done with it?

Yes, because courts and government have been so good at controlling out of control cops. Look at the long sentences for the cops in the Dorner hunt, or the cop who killed a kid for holding a wii controller.
Oh, wait. Nothing happened to them. Well, we are noticing that, and so are cops. Cops are smiling at all they can get away with. And those they serve are getting angrier. It is no accident people put up a memorial to a cop killer in NJ.
